New Zealand women's head coach quits after damning allegations made against him

New Zealand women's rugby team head coach Glenn Moore has quit the role he has held for seven years after a cultural review exposed damning issues within the national setup.

A report published earlier this week revealed that players had been body shamed by coaches, along with a number of other negative issues within the women's team. The review had been sparked by allegations from hooker Te Kura Ngata-Aerengamate, who said critical comments from Moore had led to her suffering a mental breakdown.

Among her claims was an allegation that, during her time with the team, she had been told by Moore that she did not deserve to be with the squad and that she had only been called up to play guitar. Moore denies those accusations, and described the allegations as "misleading" in his resignation statement.
